Iran has said the U.S. stance on spare parts endangered the lives of innocent passengers.
"She said that the crash was the fault of ``the stupid incompetent officials who go and collect second-hand ... planes from all over the former Soviet countries. What is this garbage they buy or rent?''"
Sounds more like the average Iranian rightly blames the stupidity and incompetence of their own ruling ayatollahs. Popular rage against the oppressive regime works in our favor and should be encouraged - we support the suffering Iranian people in their battle for freedom. Pres. Bush made this very clear in the state of the union speech.
